I always liked the clean appearance of the late 996 noses. Anyone else out there agree, and have shots of your own?

 

I am a scuba diver and from the side the 996 have the lines of a shark. Aero Dynamic noses for speed when needed.

 

Boy I dunno.. I was at the local indy the other day and he had a newer unit in there with the new headlights and rounded off hood and it look at lot more tradional Porsche. But I certainly see what you mean from this angle

 

Nice pic of an often scorned nose.

 

Nobody knows there's a "problem" with the 996 nose/front end unless they frequent Porsche online forums. If you appreciate it for what it is, as pictured above, it's actually quite nice looking.

I really like that photo.

 

i like it better than the 997,tired of that attitude about more traditional looking,they are all real porsche....996 facelift is beautiful!

 

Beautiful detailing on your car!

 

Upturned nose

 

I HATED the fact that is shared the eyes with the boxter. I acquired eye covers and had them painted to match.

I have been MUCH happier for going on a dozen years, since install.

They look as good as they did 12 years ago.

 

I have always like the nose of the 2 as well as the 4S/turbo. Dan thanks for the great thread.

 

I think the 996 GT3 RS has the sexiest nose. :-)

 

Might be, if you get rid of the license plate! jmo

 

Never let anyone tell you that your front ends are less attractive than any others! Also, it's hard still to beat the back end of a 996 C4S!

 

thanks cdl,midnight blue not easy to keep it correct!

 

A full silhouette, but the nose is there...
